America’s Cup Parade & Official Welcome
RNZYS and Emirates Team New Zealand are coming to Picton on 12th October as part of their Regional Tour with the America’s Cup. Don’t miss out on this momentous event, join us in Picton and give the team a warm South Island welcome!
The parade starts at 6pm and will include marching girls, rock’n’roll dancers, red devil cyclists and even a grape harvester! The official welcome will include a pōwhiri and kapa haka group from the three Picton schools.
There will be a fundraiser sausage sizzle and local band, The Steeps, will ensure everyone has a cruisy time enjoying the early evening sunshine. If you have a boat, think about joining the flotilla which Marlborough Sounds Marinas is organising in conjunction with The Coast Guard. For more information call (03) 520 3312 or email service@msmarinas.co.nz.
Check out the Facebook page for more info.
All proceeds from fundraising go to Queen Charlotte Yacht Club.
See you there!

24.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.
